1Flavonoids content (quercetin equivalents (mg/100 g)), phenolic compounds (gallic acid equivalents (mg/100 g)), FRAP (ascorbic acid equivalent (0.1 g/100 ml)), and IC50 (i.e., concentration of extract (mg/ml) needed to scavenge 50% of the DPPH radicals (mg/ml)) within the same treatments (blanched, dried, freeze, and fresh) of different fruit by-products having different letters are significantly () different according to the LSD.
